Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Buddhist scholars Santaraksita (725 - 88 CE.) and his disciple Kamalasila were among the most influential thinkers in classical India. They debated ideas not only within the Buddhist tradition but also with exegetes of other Indian religions, and they both traveled to Tibet during Buddhism's infancy there. Their views, however, have been notoriously hard to classify. The present volume examines Santaraksita's Tattvasamgraha and Kamalasila's extensive commentary on it, works that cover all conceivable problems in Buddhist thought and portray Buddhism as a supremely rational faith. One hotly debated topic of their time was omniscience - whether it is possible and whether a rational person may justifiably claim it as a quality of the Buddha. Santaraksita and Kamalasila affirm both claims, but in their argumentation they employ divergent rhetorical strategies in different passages, advancing what appear to be contradictory positions. McClintock's investigation of the complex strategies these authors use in defense of omniscience sheds light on the rhetorical nature of their enterprise, one that shadows their own personal views as they advance the arguments they deem most effective to convince the audiences at hand.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear, eloquent, simple, and profound, His Holiness's teachings are easily accessible to beginning practitioners yet richly nourishing to those more advanced in practice. In The Path to Bliss, the Dalai Lama shows how visualization, reason, and contemplation can be systematically crafted to enhance personal development. Beginning with practices designed to create an effective mental outlook, His Holiness skillfully guides the student to more advanced techniques for developing the mind's deepest potential and happiness. An impeccable attention to the correctness of detail, yet manages at the same time to convey a sense of playfulness, a balance of specific technical guidance, and delightful asides. It exemplifies the sophistication and elegance of Tibetan Buddhist methods for spiritual development.

Download or read book The Quick Path to Omniscience written by Panchen Lama Blobzang Eshes and published by Diamond Cutter Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Lamrim” or “stages” of the path is a Tibetan Buddhist presentation of the step-by-step guide for attaining enlightenment. The Lam rim lineage began in the 11th century when King Jangchub ‘Od invited Atiśa to come to Tibet from India to clarify the Buddhist teaching and give a summary of all the Buddhist doctrines so that Tibetans could more easily grasp the meanings. In the 14th century, Je Tsongkapa founded the Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa school, which was based on Atiśa's Kadampa school and composed a Great Lamrim and a Concise Lamrim. Among others, in the 17th century the Fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsan wrote the Easy Path Leading to Omniscience and his successor the Fifth Panchen Lama Lozang Yeshes was requested to write an even more practical guide of how to actually practice the teachings presented in the various stages of the path to enlightenment texts. Thus this Myur lam or Quick Path text covers the usual Lam rim topics such as serving your spiritual teacher, purifying your mind, grasping the essential meaning of this life, and training the mind for the three levels of persons: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Within each category there are instructions for meditations, recitations and visualizations to use while in practice sessions and instructions for what to do in between sessions in daily life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vow to perfect oneself in order to perfect others is called the thought of enlightenment or bodhichitta. This implies that every single action word or thought even the most trivial is dedicated to the good of all beings. To accomplish the good of others, we must first perfect ourselves by purifying and transforming our minds. This is the aim of what we call the preliminary practices, which establish the foundations of all spiritual progress. In this book, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche explains a key practice text composed by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892) on the Vajrayana preliminaries: taking refuge, generating the thought of achieving enlightenment for the sake of all beings, performing the meditation, and recitation of Vajrasattva to remove hindrances on the path to enlightenment, offering the mandala to accumulate merit and wisdom, and developing proper reliance on a spiritual teacher. Clear, direct, and personal, these instructions illuminate the heart of Vajrayana practice. Included here are the Tibetan text as well as the mantras and prayers commonly recited in conjunction with this practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending contemporary and traditional perspectives, this groundbreaking work offers guidance on the profound foundational practices of the Great Perfection. It contains classic commentaries by the renowned Tibetan masters Jigme Lingpa and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, alongside a lively contemporary discussion by filmmaker, author, and spiritual teacher Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse that discusses how to incorporate these ancient practices into the fast-paced lifestyle of the Western world. Also included are a lengthy introduction to the world of Tibetan Buddhism and its meditative practices, as well as the long and short preliminary practice liturgies and numerous appendices on the nine yanas and other topics. The ngöndro or preliminary practice is treasured in the Ancient School of Tibetan Buddhism as vital for effecting a profound inner transformation and as a foundation for the very highest teachings of the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen. In particular, the Longchen Nyingtik ngöndro—revealed by the great saint Jigme Lingpa following a series of visions in which he was blessed by the omniscient Longchen Rabjam and received the transmission of his wisdom mind—has long been cherished by followers of all traditions on account of its power, depth, and poetic beauty.

Book excerpt: 5.5x7.5 book Padma Rigdzin Ling Buddhist Temple www.padmarigdzinling.org RESTRICTED Please do not read or use this text unless you have received empowerment, transmission, or permission from a qualified teacher / lineage master. The Short Preliminary Practice of the Dzogchen Longchen Nyingtik Ngondro transmitted by Lama Jigme Namgyal Rinpoche. The Excellent Path to Omniscience: The Dzogchen Preliminary Practice of Longchen Nyingtik - This is the central Dharma text you will use if you are studying with Lama Jigme. When we take our first steps on the Path, we are not yet capable of helping others. To accomplish the good of others, we must first perfect ourselves, by purifying and transforming our minds. This is the aim of what we call the preliminary practices, which establish the foundations of all spiritual progress. You may feel like dispensing with these foundations in order to practice teachings that you think are more profound, but if you do so, you are building a palace on the surface of a frozen lake. Traditionally Ngondro practice is done for the enlightenment of the spiritual aspirant and for the benefit of all sentient beings. That is, the merit of doing the practices is dedicated to all sentient beings. The Benefits of the Longchen Nyingtik Ngondro: - Before you do something in your Dharma Practice, it is of the most importance to practice the Ngondro. Before you can accomplish any form of the 4 activities [Pacifying, Increasing, Magnetization or Subjugation] you have to finish your daily Ngondro. - You will gain realization through the 4 Empowerments in Guru Yoga, though this you will have the strength to benefit others. However without it, it will be difficult. - The Ngondro can help you realize emptiness or Dzogchenpo (The Great Perfection)- Gives you your daily empowerment to practice Ati Yoga (Dzogchen) practices. - Through the practice of the Ngondro, diligent and fortunate practitioners can achieve enlightenment after just six months of practice, the Ngondro covers all the fundamental yet essential preliminary practices that are necessary to enter the ultimate realization, etc. - Having a focused Ngondro practice will allow you to remember and see your past three lives. - You should treat this book as Dharma (the Buddha's teachings). And you should treat any form of Dharma with the most respect. Never touch it the ground, try to keep it in a high clean place, it is good to keep on your altar. After using it you can touch it to your crown to accumulate merit. To not treat Dharma with respect can create negative karma. - Lama Jigme Rinpoche comes from the Nyingma tradition in Tibetan Buddhism and under the Longchen Nyingtik teachings from Jigme Lingpa. [This specific book was compiled with the help of the Venerable Lama Jigme Rinpoche's students Tenzin Wangden from Switzerland and Jacob Ewers from Las Vegas for the highest benefits of all sentient beings] - The Venerable Lama Jigme Namgyal Rinpoche was born in Amdo, Tibet. With the help of his family he was able to study with his teachers, Rigdzin Jigme and Lama Aku Sherab throughout his childhood. After teachings from the H.H. the Dalai Lama, H.H. Penor Rinpoche and Khamtrul Rinpoche, His Holiness the Dalai Lama verified Rinpoche's understanding of Buddhist values like compassion and emptiness. He was exceptionally touched by his answers. His Holiness decided to build Padma Rigdzin Ling Monastery in the forest of Dharmashala, India for Rinpoche to carry out his practices and ceremonies.

This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the 15th-century spiritual classic that condenses Buddhist teachings into one easy-to-follow meditation manual The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lam rim chen mo) is one of the brightest jewels in the world’s treasury of sacred literature. The author, Tsong-kha-pa, completed it in 1402, and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Because it condenses all the exoteric sūtra scriptures into a meditation manual that is easy to understand, scholars and practitioners rely on its authoritative presentation as a gateway that leads to a full understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. Tsong-kha-pa took great pains to base his insights on classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition. In this way the text demonstrates clearly how Tibetan Buddhism carefully preserved and developed the Indian Buddhist traditions. This first of three volumes covers all the practices that are prerequisite for developing the spirit of enlightenment (bodhicitta).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mind-training practices contained in the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism have never before been presented in the English language. The main text translated here, The Steps to Liberation, will be of great interest to Western practitioners, since its instructions are pithy and direct, and experiential rather than scholarly. The contemplations on core Buddhist principles like impermanence and karma, intended for beginning meditators, unfold as dramatic stories in which the meditator is to vividly imagine himself or herself as the main character who undergoes a sequence of experiences that result in transformative realizations. They distill the most essential teachings of the Buddha into a practical system that can be easily implemented in a daily meditation practice. At the same time, they bring together the most foundational Buddhist teachings with the profound methods of the Vajrayana (the esoteric teachings of Buddhist tantra). This is the hallmark of Dzogchen mind training and what sets it apart from other mind-training lineages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tradition was founded by Padmasambhava, the Indian tantric saint who established the dharma there in the 8th century. Like the later traditions of the Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug it is grounded in the mystical experience of Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism. These most essential teachings of Buddha are considered ‘secret’, making use of esoteric language and techniques. Their meaning can only be revealed to those who have established the proper motivation of universal altruism and the correct view of reality-the view of emptiness. Because the scope of the sutras and tantras is vast many of the great Tibetan masters condensed their essential points into easily followed prayers for practice. This is one such text and, rather than being a prayer, it is a guide for contemplation, providing the necessary link between sutra and tantra.
